Mic not working while plugged into chat pad!

I suggest plugging the mic into the chat pad before reattaching it to the controller. Also clean the Mic male connector end and blow out the inside of the female end inside the chat pad. If non of the following helps then I suggest using the chat pad without
the mic or not using the chat pad when wanting to use a mic.

I plugged into the back in the headphone Jack. I didn't plug in the USB part. Does it need to be plugged in o thought it was only for the headphones light. If this doesn't matter. Is there a chat pad with a headphone mic port?

If the chat pad works no problem then OP should not be having an issue if he plugged directly into the controller. But he says it makes no difference if he plugs it directly or through the chat pad. So Fearless Son if you can get back to us with D3ATH PRONE
questions about the original Mic picking up sound at all that would help us help you. Also has this set up been working then stopped or did you adjust your set-up to this and now it doesn't work?

I have the same problem, and this only happenned since the 14th of March. This appears to be a software issue; The microphone works when plugged into the chatpad; if I adjust the mic monitor settings I can hear myself, but the party cannnot hear me when using the chatpad. I've confirmed both the controller and chatpad are up to date wrt software updates, so I suspect that an xbox console update may be the cause. Please help. I'm using an xbox one x, elite controller gen 1 with the chatpad.
